Ernie BallErnie Ball Regular Slinky Electric Guitar Strings - includes 6 free plectrums

Earnie Ball are great quality and value

Bought these to try on my acoustic just out of interest. Some people say ok to try, some say not, so I thought I'd give it a go. Fitted to a very basic Gear4Music acoustic, which I must say is surprisingly well put together for the £69 I paid. Anyway, back to the strings. They were used to replace Ernie Ball Silk & Steel 10s. The high e on these is also a 10, but the others are lighter. Sound is brighter on the highest 3 strings, and when playing in the area of the 12th fret the sound is much clearer. A different sound to the silk and steel, but certainly not unpleasant. The lower strings lose a bit of bass of course, but acceptable to this novice. Would I try them again?. Not sure. Next time I might try flatwounds to stop the annoying string squeak which I know we all get, but I'd like to see the back of.

If you are ordering these you probably know anyway, but good low end, easy to bend, stay in tune. Good quality item, last a reasonable amount of time before rusting!

I've always felt most comfortable with these strings. I've tried other weights and other manufacturers, but I come back to these budget friendly options every time. That said, I was recently disappointed to find that a pack that had been unopened and in a guitar case for perhaps three years, had started to oxidise. It wasn't simple tarnishing, it could be felt on the strings. It was actually only on two of the six strings, but even so. I get that strings can rust, but in a heat-sealed plastic bag? Anyway, I will continue to use these strings, but I won't stockpile them.

New to guitaring and bought an epiphone Dot that needed a bit of TLC.After polishing frets, oiling fingerboard and reviving the paintwork it looks great.These were the last piece of the puzzle - I wanted some round-wound bright strings that weren't too hard on the finger tips of a newbie.Easy to mount, didn't need much stretching and came up to tune very easily.These also came with 6 picks - plain black, 3 quite thin and flexible and 3 thicker and more rigid.Excellent stuff, what a bargain too.

Strings are very subjective, these are good quality as usual, certainly fine for me.

Strings are great, as ernie balls generally are. Highly durable, sound great, stay in tune and are the perfect gauge for those sweet bends. pics included are pretty poor but that’s as expected.

What can I say I've used these for over 10 years they are perfect, you get a nice tone out of them and they are nice and smooth on the fingertips, if you put them on a high end acoustic they sound absolutely amazing
